Pinwiz Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 (edited) It's that time again. Two of the three shows that DCI uses to set the performance order at Prelims are in the books and here's where we stand if we use the Friday score for Cavies. The Allentown performance day is in parenthesizes: 1. Blue Devils - 89.388 (Fri) 2. The Cadets - 89.213 (Sat) 3. Carolina Crown - 88.850 (Sat) 4. Bluecoats - 87.575 (Sat) 5. Santa Clara Vanguard - 86.950 (Fri) 6. Blue Knights - 84.088 (Fri) 7. The Cavaliers - 82.888 (Fri) 8. Phantom Regiment - 82.575 (Sat) 9. Madison Scouts - 81.338 (Sat) 10. Boston Crusaders - 79.750 (Sat) 11. Blue Stars - 79.125 (Fri) 12. Crossmen - 79.100 (Sat) 13. Troopers - 77.438 (Sat) 14. Colts - 77.113 (Sat) 15. The Academy - 75.913 (Fri) 16. Spirit of Atlanta - 73.588 (Fri) 17. Oregon Crusaders - 71.663 (Sat) 18. Mandarins - 71.625 (Fri) 19. Pacific Crest - 70.525 (Sat) 20. Cascades - 66.600 (Fri) 21. Jersey Surf - 65.913 (Sat) 22. Pioneer - 61.138 (Fri) Knowing this, we can calculate the current benchmark scores for the corps that perform on Friday so that they can move up the placement. Corps not listed do not have enough detail to provide a value, go out there are score as high as possible: Santa Clara Vanguard must beat Bluecoats by more than 1.25 to advance. Blue Knights must beat Santa Clara Vanguard by more than 5.725 to advance. The Cavaliers must beat Blue Knights by more than 2.4 to advance. Blue Stars must beat Boston Crusaders by more than 1.25 to advance. The Academy must beat Colts by more than 2.4 to advance. Spirit of Atlanta must beat The Academy by more than 4.65 to advance. Mandarins must beat Oregon Crusaders by more than 0.075 to advance. Cascades must beat Pacific Crest by more than 7.85 to advance. Pioneer must beat Jersey Surf by more than 9.55 to advance. I'll be back with round 2 after we get scores on Friday. Edited July 26, 2015 by Pinwiz 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zerosixthirty Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Super close race between OC, Mandarins, and PC this season. Seems to me that the Mandarins are strongest, even with SOA, but the judges have a different perspective. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldbandguy Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 This is where Bluecoats .4 penalty tonight "could" hurt them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueStainGlass Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 This is where Bluecoats .4 penalty tonight "could" hurt them. in the end it will have a .13 effect on score avg. They are like a point away from the placement above or below so no effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most corps are locked into place right now. I've updated the listing to include the performance day for Allentown. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRASSO Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 True. Most corps are locked into place right now. I've updated the listing to include the performance day for Allentown. Is this a benign definition of " slotting " ? Could be. it all depends on one's definition of the term, I would suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinwiz Posted July 26, 2015 Author Share Posted July 26, 2015 One more update: fixed the wording to "by more than" as the initial numbers were the values necessary to tie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
